Yob Family Foundation, Team Goodwin Foundation & ZooTampa Partner for Willy Wonka-Themed Christmas Event
TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, December 15, 2024 / — We rang in the holiday season this year with The Yob Family Foundation (YFF) for their 11th Annual Christmas Event on Dec. 16. The event returned to ZooTampa at Lowry Park (ZooTampa) again this year where the Saunders Event Pavilion will be transformed into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. The magical world was filled with personalized gifts, interactive stations, special animal appearances and much more for children and adults alike.
Chris Godwin, Team Godwin Founder and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all-star wide receiver, greeted the kids along with several of his Buccaneers teammates.
Benefiting Metropolitan Ministries, The Children’s Home Network, and A Kid’s Place, YFF makes a positive difference in the lives of many Tampa Bay children through The Jonathan Yob Foster Care to Success Scholarships, which are awarded to kids aging out of the foster care system.
“These scholarships are critical to support youth that are striving for higher education and have demonstrated their commitment toward helping others through volunteerism,” said Jon Yob, Founder and President of the Yob Family Foundation. “Without financial assistance and additional support, many of these children could easily fall through the cracks. We’re here to make sure they have opportunities to succeed.”
